Exclamation noob question about wheels on x coupe

Alright so i have been researching for quite some time about wheels on the awd coupe and and I am at a loss. I've got mixed reviews about people actually staggering wheels on an x coupe within certain restrictions which is what i would love to do but it still seems dangerous... If i were to get something concave like a cv1 or cv3 would it be possible to do 20x10.5 all round or would i have some issues? ... i really dont want 20x9 all around, please help!!!!!!!!!!

i apologize if any of this sounds stupid

10.5 concave rims all around on a X is definitely possible because you don't have BBK. Just have to get your offsets right.

OD= overall diameter

i just ordered a set of staggered vossens for my x coupe. from all the research i did, as long as the overall tire circumference is within 3% of eachother, you should be ok. i got 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 tires and they are 1.1% difference. if you go 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 then it will be 0.1% difference.

i guess il let you know in a couple weeks haha
